A rectangular area of land is being sold off in smaller pieces. The total area of the land is 2^15 square miles. The pieces being sold are 8^3 square miles in size. How many smaller pieces of land can be sold at the stated size? Compute the actual number of pieces.

Total area of the rectangular land = 2^15 sq. miles

= 32768 sq. miles

total area of the pieces being sold = 8^3 sq. miles

= 512 sq. miles

now total no. of pieces = total area of the land / the area of samaller land that's being sold

= 32768 / 512

= 64

so the actual number of pieces is 64
